Mini bio
How it started.
Victor grew up in Akure, Nigeria. His youth coach Blessing Johnson spotted him at a school scouting competition and brought him to Royal Gold Soccer Academy. He later developed at Real Sapphire before moving to Bodø/Glimt in Norway in 2019.
Finding his stage.
After Bodø/Glimt, he joined Union Saint-Gilloise in Belgium in 2022. His six goals made him joint top scorer in the 2022/23 Europa League alongside Marcus Rashford. Leverkusen signed him in July 2023.
A season fans remember.
His first season in Germany brought an unbeaten Bundesliga title, the DFB-Pokal and the league’s Rookie of the Season award. He also became the first player to win Rookie of the Month four times, taking the award from August through November 2023.
